About Me: Cape Cod Artist and Teacher

Background

I am a local Cape Cod artist with an extensive background in oils, watercolor and acrylics. I enjoy painting landscapes, floral, faux finishes and decorative art. As an art teacher in both adult education and private classes, I love to share my knowledge and love of art with others. I am also available for custom commission work. Lately I've been enjoying "plein aire" painting, as in this photo. You can find my work at the 820 Gallery in Harwich Port!

Local Affiliations

As a member of the Guild of Harwich Artists, I served as director of the Art Gallery for eight years and am a former president of the Guild. I am a member of the Cape Cod Art Center, Cape Cod Art Museum, Creative Arts Center and the Cultural Center in Yarmouth. Also, I'm treasurer of the Harwich Cultural Council.

Inspiration

Learning Experiences

I continue to seek new techniques and ideas to improve my work and teaching abilities. Among the 100+ workshops I have attended around the country, I particularly enjoyed learning from these artists:
